It looks to me like he was burned at one time. He's not pyramided, he must have had decent care. I sure would take him, he's a great color...

Hi,
At some point in time he has either had bacterial or fungal shell rot. From what I can see it looks like it's pretty much healed. But a picture of him cleaned off would help to find out.

I'm with Maggie on this one. I think that at one time in his life the light or CHE was hanging down too close to the top of the tortoise and he couldn't get away from it. They don't always feel that they are burning until the damage is done. There is nothing wrong with the tortoise now, it is old damage. So whether fungus, bacterial inf. or old burn, he's fine now and no reason not to take him.
